such a day of mahalo… arise with the full moon of may to celebrate sister moon, this full moon in may under which Buddha was born, enlightened and died, this moon of  transfigurative potency giving us the power to be fully alive in every wild cell, this beautiful gift of gathering in sangha to listen deeply for and to el canto hondo, the deep song emanating from the river below the river, sacred wellspring of soul song…

let us join together to call in the five elements to purify us, to sanctify us, to gather the quintessence… pure love…

~

may we be filled with lovingkindness

may we be well

may we be peaceful and at ease

may we be happy

~

thousandfold thanks for this full moon of illumination, this water pitcher pouring forth healing elixir  on all that is…

may we open more than ever before to receiving everything as blessing into the earth of being and radiating light and love in the all that is with every breath…

may we walk in wonder with every step on this most powerful full moon of the year, the moon when Buddha was born, enlightened, and died, invoking light and love unceasingly…

may we know in every wild cell we are the eternal radiance…
